      This sample works only with SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2008. It will not work with any version of SQL Server earlier than SQL Server 2005.
    </p>
    <p>AS Simple Sample is a sample C# program that illustrates the use of the Analysis Management Objects (AMO) to create complex OLAP cubes and the use of ADOMD.NET to access the contents of the newly created cubes.</p>
    <p>Default location: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Samples\Analysis Services\Programmability\AMO\AS Simple Sample</p>
    <p>AS Simple Sample is a complete developer sample for Analysis Services multidimensional databases; it covers both sides of the coin for developers: the server administration (using AMO) and the client access to the data (using ADOMD.NET.Client).</p>
    <p>From the server administration perspective the AS Simple Sample covers most major objects creation, modifications and process. On the enhancement side it covers aggregation design, perspectives, KPIs, actions, translations, and proactive caching. It also mentions security by using roles and permissions. The sample also covers a data mining structure and model creation and processing.</p>
    <p>From the client access perspective, the AS Simple Sample covers most major objects, metadata browsing, and access to the values; it also shows how to implement KPIs, actions, and browsing a data mining model.</p>
    <p>While working with the AS Simple Sample, developers can see and understand the impact of using AMO and see the results using ADOMD. One of the most common challenges that developers working with Analysis Services face is how to see the results of what they are doing in AMO from the user perspective. This is because when you design an object (for example, a KPI) you cannot see the results from AMO. In addition, if you are implementing a client interface using ADOMD that permits the user to execute designed actions, there is no easy way to discover the actions implemented unless you browse the actions collection using AMO. The AS Simple Sample therefore the need to have an integrated sample.</p>
  <h1 class="heading">Scenario</h1><div id="sectionSection0" class="section"><content xmlns="http://ddue.schemas.microsoft.com/authoring/2003/5">
      <p xmlns="">The AS Simple Sample uses a guided set of procedures to create a subset of the functionality of the AdventureWorks cube located in the AdventureWorks Analysis Services Project. Then, the sample allows the user to view results in a client interface.</p>
